The good news!. No one has ever been killed from eating chocolate that has been dropped on the floor for 5 seconds. I am sure the whole continent of Africa has a 5 second rule. Only someone who has never been hungry would snare at the 5 second rule.
someone who thinks the 5 second rule is yuck should allow me to keep them in a cage for 20 days and barely feed them and when I do feed them I will throw the food on the floor and see how long it takes them to dive for it so they won't starve. Or if they are a person of their conviction, they would just let the foot rot where it drop because they are worried about bacteria.
For the record, if you food drops in feces, don't pick it up. If it drops in vomit leave it there. But bacteria can be good for you. People who don't come in contact with enough bacteria die quicker.
